Zaltrap and Capecitabine drug interactions - a phase IV clinical study of FDA data

Summary:

Drug interactions are reported among people who take Zaltrap (ziv-aflibercept) and Capecitabine (capecitabine). Common drug interactions include neurotoxicity among females and cerebrovascular accident among males.

The phase IV clinical study analyzes what interactions people have when they take Zaltrap and Capecitabine. It is created by eHealthMe based on reports of 55 people who take the same drugs from the FDA, and is updated regularly.
